Trump has withheld $500 million from UCLA due to “Pro Palestinian“ protests. $500 million in federal funding. $500 million in taxpayer funding. $500 million coming out of the people’s pockets. $500 million that should’ve never been sent to UCLA in the first place.
Now UCLA is saying that if it has to pay a $1 billion settlement that Trump administration has proposed, it is over with. I say, so be it. education should be private. All of it. Taxpayers should’ve never had to fund it in the first place. AI is replacing all the knowledge worker jobs anyway. Kids graduate these schools with mammoth sized mortgages and can’t even find a job. What a sick joke.
I don’t know what Trump‘s obsession with the pro Palestinian thing is, but a lot of people say it’s tied to him being compromised somehow with Israel. Could be. But the more important point for me is that pro-Palestinian protests or not, the federal government should have never been sending universities taxpayer money, and they need to stop.
What are we getting for sending universities $60 billion a year for “research and development”? Basically all we are getting is hate from the students and the professors, and over educated graduates who really aren’t even contributing much to our society.
Time to cease and desist from funding all universities with taxpayer money— especially when the Social Security fund is running out!
